I After two yearn of unmitigated et furt In which he met with all sorts' of antagonism, especially from certain rail- road interest. Senator Rurkett'a bill pro viding; for federal Inspecltlon of locomotive boilers was passed today. In many re aped this bill is one of the most ad vanced legislative measure in the govern mcnt'B program for corrective legislation. Sir.ator purketta hill which has had a atormy road In the two years of Its ex istence, has been amended and changed In minor detail, but Its purpose has been kept definitely dear and if the Kurkett bill or any modification of It should pass the; house, as now confidently expected, the name of the senior senator from Ne bmraska will be attached to one of the most Important pleoos of legislation which has been enacted In the last fifty years. The president Is authorized to appoint a chief Inspector and two assistant chiefs, wlille fifty Inspectors ara to be selected by civil service examinations. Singular, as It is the I'nlted States U the only country which has no law regulating the Inspec tion of locomotive bolleds. The bill pro vides for an appeal to the Interstate Com merce commission from the report of the chief Inspector. v Recently there haa been considerable dis cussion over the Mann Inspection bill which la similar to the Burkett bill and there has been number of conferences between the president. Mr. Mann, Senator Hurkett and the representatives of the Hallway Employes' association, with a view of harmonising listing' dlfterenc In details and language. With the passage of the BurRett bill to day It la believed Representative Mann, chairman of the Interstate and foreign commerce committee of the house, will substitute that measure, as passed by the senate, for his own bill, thereby insuring legislation at this session.

Jan. 10 The worst disaster off the coast of Cape Cod In many years occurred today on the bars off the Peaked Hills. The life guards stood on the beach with their boats and other apparatus unable to render assist- I nnce whit three roiil-cnj-rvlnir hnrces ? were hurled to destruction and seventeen men lost their lives In the surf. The barges were the Treverton, Corbin and Pine Forest, valued together at $V.'5 00n. With the exception of Captain P.rown of the Treverton, who belonged In Llncoln- tile. Me., and Captain Hall of the Pine Forest, a Provlncetown man. the drowned tailors were Phllndelphlans. As two of the barges, the Treverton and Corbin. broke up very quickly, It is be- t lleved twelve lives were lost within an j hour after the barges broke away from the ! I uk Lykens this morning and went Into the breakers. Five other seumen were seen ,.)nKlns to , vlnr yorest lln, m)d.fole- noon, when In attempting to reach shore In their own little boat they were hurled Into the billows and lost. The tug Lykens started from Philadelphia last week with the Treverton for Portland, the Corbin for Portsmouth and the Pine Forest for Marblehcad. tinnier HreaUe. j The Lykens, with Ita tow, was off Nesett late In the evening. It later met the full force of the gale' In the arm of the cape. The life-saving patrol saw It standing oft shore to avoid the Penked Hill bars, hut darkness blotted It out four hours before dawn. The gale Increased In fury and about 3 o'clock the long hawser astern of the tug parted. The Lykens was then a mile or nioro to the westward of the Peajted Hill life-saving station. -The last watcli of the night patrol was starting out from the Peaked Hill station when he discovered wreckage in the breakers. The crew was quickly sum moned, but It was too dark to make out anything. More flotsam came tumbling on' th. beach, but there was nothing to Identify It. ' At dawn a stranded barge; with a single mast,' could te sceti far oat In The break- era tin the outer bat, while In the offing hovered a tug. which afterwards proved to be the Lykens. The life savers soon real ised that no lifeboat could traverse those W0 yards of cross-whirling billows. Two men were seen clinging to the rigging and three others holding on to the house. The other two barges had long since broken up. The Lykens could not render assistance on account of the heavy sea and started for Princeton. Last Flht for l ife. Shortly before 10 o'clock the men on the Pine Forest were seen to gather In a bunch. Before thoe on the shore realized their purpose the little beat on top of the barge's house was cut loose. The five men then tumbled in for the last fight for life, but before they had graaped their oars a olg comber came rolling round the stern of the barge and over them. That was the end. The Treverton was the largest barge of the three and carried a crew of seven mon, with Captain F. I. Brown of Lincolnvllle, Me.. Id command. It waa bound , to Port land. Tht Corbin carried a crew of five men, and was - commanded by Captain C. M. Smith of Philadelphia. It was bound to Portsmouth, N. H.

At Monday'a caucus the board had decided to give Dr. Kenner"s position to Bruning and to give Barney Mc Ardle the position of superintendent of the county building. At the Tuesday morning caucus the democratic members hit upon the scheme of exchanging the positions of Bruning and McArdle, the theory appar ently being that the public will view the matter too auperflclally to see that the trlmary fact that Dr. Kenner, Nebraska pioneer, who has helped to make the his tory of the state, la pushed aside In order to give Bruning a berth remains.

He declared that the data collected on the dash of the Peary expe ditlon to the top of the world would be of practically no value to other aspiring polar seeker. The explorer explained at length the privations of hia trip to the pole and de clared hia success was directly attributable to his twenty years of experience in Aro tle work. In response to questions he acknowledged that he had made no offi cial report to the Navy department that what he say will necessarily he brought to th attention of the people of other foreign countries. It Is his obvious duty to avoid invidious comparisons and to limit hia apeech and hia expressions of friendship for the country whose guest he la to langusge that will not Indicate a lack of friendship toward other countries." Commander 81ms cannot escape censure, the president holds, "on the ground that what he said waa a mere expression of his personal opinion; under the circumstances h must speak as an official repreentatlve and ha should have known that th words he used would at once call for aevere comment In otner countries than Great Britain and might Involve this government lo explanation and disclaimer."
